iWriter has launched a program known as the iWriter Fast Track program.
This is a program that can help good but struggling writers to get a Premium or Elite rating in as little as 1 day.

iWriter Ratings
iWriter uses a rating system to determine how much a writer is to be paid.
No matter how good a writer you are, when you start out in the site, you automatically become a Standard writer, where you are paid the least money. It is very hard as a Standard writer to grow up to Elite and start making good money.

Of course iWriter has the great feature of auto-approving un-reviewed articles after 3 days, but this does not give you any rating.
Even after writing numerous posts on how to make it in the site like this one, I still get calls and emails from people asking me how they can become Elite writers. I do my best to respond in the best way possible.
But now, Brad Callen, the owner of iWriter, has just made the whole thing easier.
The Solution – iWriter Fast Track Program
For a $147 application fee, this program can help you to become a Premium or Elite writer in as little as one day. That’s right, a day.
Once you pay this fee, the iWriter staff will give you some articles to do. Each article will be given a rating by the staff. If the rating is 4.6 and above, you automatically become an Elite writer. If it is between 4 and 4.5 you become a Premium writer.
Who Should Use this iWriter Program?
Now, the heart is deceitful (as the Bible rightly says) and we can all say we are good writers.
Unfortunately, we are not all the same. There are good writers and others who are not so good.
My advice is that no one uses this program unless they are certified good – meaning they have received some independent ratings from other sources.
Ask yourself some few questions. Do you have excellent grammar? Did your teachers or lecturers love your essays and reports? Do you have great ratings in other article writing websites? Do you have a successful blog?
In case other independent sources have said that your work is good, feel free to apply for the program. If you don’t have that, then I advise you improve your writing skills first before doing this. If you are not certified good as I have defined above, you can just sign up to iWriter and start working for different clients and grow your reviews and ratings.
Need Some Training?
I will be offering article writing and blogging training frequently. Just check my top menu to see if I am offering one and hop on it. I’ll then review your writing, help you to improve it and you’ll be eligible to get great ratings from this new program. Also feel free to buy my eBook (s) and learn about other ways of making money online in Kenya.
How to Access the iWriter Fast Track Program
It is simple to access this program. If you have not signed up for iWriter, sign up here. After you have signed up, log in then come back and click on this link. Read all the requirements and then click on “Apply For the iWriter Fast Track Program”. You’ll be taken to a payments page where you should pay and then you’ll receive instructions on email on what to do.
What about the iWriter Ban on Different Countries?
iWriter has neither banned Kenya nor most of these countries as a whole, just some suspicious IPs. From a reliable source in iWriter, only Pakistan was totally banned. Therefore Kenyans can still access it.
But before we talk about access…
Stern warning! Never spam, hack or try to manipulate iWriter ratings
These and other suspicious activities will get you immediately banned from iWriter forever.
Spammers are those who try to take advantage of iWriter’s auto-approval system. They then send poor content or total trash hoping that requesters won’t look at it. This way, their “articles” get auto-approved and they get paid after 3 days.
Hackers try different methods of stealing cash from the system.
Manipulators open multiple accounts, employ themselves and give themselves high ratings.
iWriter monitors these three daily and if you are caught doing so, you get banned immediately.
Kenyans are among the best writers in iWriter; therefore don’t mess up for others by violating their terms and getting involved in the above or any other disgraceful activity.
I am personally doing my very best to get all Kenyan IPs back, but as long as guys are doing the above (even those not from Kenya), my efforts will never work.
Currently, if you want to access iWriter, you need to use clean IPs. There are other guys finding ways to access it but whatever you do, never violate any iWriter policies and you’ll be fine.
I have credible information that Kenya may get totally pushed out of the system if the few (I believe very few) continue their suspicious activities.
Final Thoughts on This Program
This program is a great gift for everyone using the site.
I personally recommend it for people who want to legally get high ratings and make money quick. As I have stated many times in this site, you need to use money to make money; that’s what makes the difference between the excellent and the average.
Of course if you are a good writer and can’t afford it you can just write great articles, get great ratings and you’ll soon become a Premium or Elite writer in iWriter. This is another definition of excellence and I totally respect guys who do this.
Sometimes, for lack of time, I don’t blog about such news immediately I receive it, instead, I send it to my mailing list first then blog later. Therefore, make sure you join my list (check for “join my list” on the sidebar) to get latest updates on what’s going on before everyone else. I sometimes turn this off so if you don’t see “join my list” on the sidebar, it’s off.
You can also follow blog via email (a little bit down on the sidebar) to get my latest posts immediately after I publish them.
Last word; never spam, hack or manipulate, that’s the only way to bring back all Kenyan IPs to the site and help all Kenyans to make money in this great article writing website. Otherwise, as long as you’re eligible, apply for the program and start making serious money online.
Hi, just to let you know – some of your links to iwriter are just linking back to this page.
Thanks, Natalie
Thanks Natalie. I’m checking and fixing them ASAP.
Nice post, Walter!
I’ve been writing in iWriter for a couple of months, but my experience with this site has not been that good. There are just too many scammers giving bad ratings even for high-quality articles. They’ll say, “oh, this comma could’ve been placed here”. “Hey, your article is good, I saw all of it in a full image snapshot, typed it all down myself and gave you a 3 star rating, but hey, the problem is that although the writing is pretty good, I won’t approve it because the writing flavor wasn’t the one that I was looking for”.
But hey man, I appreciate your effort into putting such a high-quality article out here for all those seeking sound advice.
Have a good one.
Jesus Saves!

Bruno hi
I hope you are doing alright.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, there are many scammers there. It’s always best to look for requesters with high approval rates to ensure you don’t get such rejections. You can get requesters with at least 70% approval rates. The higher the better.
Thanks.
Walter
Thanks for the great post Walter. I always look forward to reading your blogs and receiving your newsletter.
I have been having a slight problem with iWriter. I am currently an Elite writer. When I view the number of elite articles available from an account of a standard writer, it shows around 80 articles available. However, when I take a look at my account, I can only see around 10 elite articles available. I have contacted iWriter support several times but they are not helping in any way. My question is, are the 80 articles that I see from the account of a standard writer just a marketing strategy? If not, how comes I cannot see those articles from my Elite account?
Please help!
Thanks for your compliment Winnie. I believe it’s a marketing strategy. However, if you know any other Elite writer, you can both log in at the same time and see how many jobs are available just to confirm. There is a time they would do that to Premium accounts. One with a higher rating would “see” more articles than another.
iwriter has blocked my account saying I have scammed rating please assist me/give advice because I had more than 60 dollars in it.
Hi Walter
I believe they returned the cash to you PayPal, right? Sorry about the blockage.
Hi, Walter,
It seems Kenyans are a bunch of crappy people who will never adhere to warnings or instructions.
Lately they have a new game at iwriter where they use one account and supply work to a certain circle of known friends,if you unfortunately pick their articles,they damage your ratings badly.
They use Chinese names to register such accounts but the account only accepts articles from Karanja, Wangari etc.
The games continue until we all get banned and we start sending numerous appeals to iwriter.
Such things make me disgusted to be a Kenyan.It won’t take long for iwriter to receive complains and investigate such accounts.The overall decisions will affect all Kenyans on that site.Only then will we learn from our ignorance.
Hi James,
I’m glad to know you’re doing well in textbroker uk.
iWriter block IPs when they suspect there is a scammer in it. Therefore, one scammer, a whole IP class blocked. They softened their stance on this though.
To answer your question, check out the post below:

Cheers 🙂
But how fair or even sensible is it to black list a whole country because of a handful of wayward people? Crooks are everywhere, not necessarily in some countries.
Shikomsa,
Thanks a lot for your comment. I agree there are crooks everywhere.
The iWriter move to ban countries does not make much sense but first let’s personally clean up our acts.
My hope is that soon iWriter will install up-to-date security mechanisms which can detect crooks like all the other sites – Elance, Freelancer, oDesk e.t.c. where no country has been banned.
I have appealed to them over and over again to go that way. I hope they act on it soon.
My fear is that there are guys in New York or other “clean” states who are taking advantage of the bans, using “Kenyan” proxies and getting away with their misdeeds at the expense of Kenyans.
One again, like the old saying goes, let’s clean up our personal acts first before they clean up theirs. In the end, things always work out for the innocent.
Thanks Walter for your excellent post. My IP, however, is among the blacklisted IPs, thus I can never access iWriter.com. But I don’t know why they blocked my IP because I have never worked with them before. Any issues on manipulation, hacking or any illegal stuff is out of question. Let’s just say I am unlucky with iWriter.
Anyway, I am always happy at fiverr and textbroker uk. I signed at textbroker a couple of months back but recently a friend told me they are not accepting Kenyans (too bad). My fiverr sales have recently dropped, any ideas how to revive them?
Regards.
